"A 23-month-old child from Texas has become the first American to die from the swine flu outbreak, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta confirmed today. The CDC released no other information about how  or where  the child may have contracted the disease."  ABC report, First U.S. Death From Swine Flu in Texas the CDC Confirms, April 29, 2009 [emphasis added]

My antennae started to go up as I heard various reports about the first reported swine flu death in the USA. A 23-month old child from Texas was all that we were told. Googling, I found the ABC article above pointedly mentioning that the CDC released no other information about how  or where  the child may have contracted the disease.

Nothing is being suppressed, this is all over the place. The young and the old die every year from influenza, this particular strain might be more virulent, but if anything they are blowing it out of proportion as it is.

This whole swine flu story smells. The more I see I can’t help but think this is anther manufactured crisis by the BO administration. If it is such a threat to the nation then why haven’t they shut down the US/Mexican border?

My cousin’s husband is a VP for American Express and lives in Dallas and was telling us about one of her husbands colleagues two year old had it. I hope it’s not the same one. They had just returned from a trip to MEXICO. The whole family had tested positive. Also, Comal and New Braunfels ISD are closed until May 11. That’s north of San Antonio.

Real, imagined, or in this case - manufactured. They really, really, want that Welfare Health Care.

The grasshoppers have out numbered the ants, and the left is struggling for control. They need money - big money. The ants are already over taxed, but if the left can get their hands on the ants insurance premiums, they'll have unlimited funds to buy their votes and feed their wanting base.

They also want everyone on National Mortgage and National Auto as well, because the left wing base also wants these things for free. They're working on it.

All your cash will belong to them. That's the plan. Without your money, they have nothing to feed their dependant base.

the very limited release of info by the Obama admin does send up red flags for me.

There is a flood of information, a lot of it is contradictory or unclear, and everyone (every professional one) in PHS knows that if any politician winds up looking bad the professionals involved will be crucified.

I have no evidence that this is worse under "Obama" than under either Bush, Clinton, or Reagan.

It's a longstanding problem and it's been very bad for many years.

Maybe not. The left wants that Health Care Welfare. They need it bad. Medicaid and Medicare are going broke. They need the insurance premiums to help pay for them. If everyone were on Health Care Welfare, the wealth would be "shared".

This flu is a brew of three different flues. The odds of that combination happening by accident seems rather odd to me.

It's not about you or me. It's not about citizens. It's about power and privilege. The left is losing control. They can't afford to feed their dependent voters much longer. There's just not enough available cash in their coffers. Their base continues to want. They need more, and in order to survive, they'll have to do what ever it takes to get it.

There are unconfirmed reports that three Mexican doctors have died after treating infected patients. More than 80 cases have been confirmed in other countries. [more than that as we have almost that many here]

We can't look at any of this in isolation from the big picture. There's a new flu afoot with unknown killing capabilities. Initially it didn't even kill people in Mexico. Now it kills lots of people there, and there's a dead kid here now.

You didn't perhaps have the idea that these flu pandemics begin full blown on DAY 1?
